I’d like to think that, one day, far into the future, Stu Macher is sitting in his living room, doing god knows whatever menial things that entertain him, when the phone rings.

He counts the amount of times it rings absentmindedly — perhaps out of boredom, perhaps out of habit. It rings, rings again, and then click.

Stu looks up, frowning to himself. It reminds him of something, something he can place but anout which refuses to think. He always was one to guard his thoughts, so that if one fateful day a mind reader snuck into his brain, he’d be a safe distance from anything incriminating.

He shifts, gets to his feet. Perhaps out of boredom. Perhaps out of habit.

He counts to three. The phone rings again.

Stu takes two steps per ring. He only makes it four before it clicks off again.

Now his hand is on the phone faster than you could blink. He waits, grip so intense that he hears the receiver creak.

When the very first note of the ring comes, he tears the receiver from its spot and presses it against his ear.

“Hello?”

Just in case.

A voice he hasn’t heard in far too long seeps through the line. “William.”

Stu smiles. And he’s smiled a lot before, he’s always smiling, everyone swears. But this one’s different. It’s always different when it comes to him.

“Wherever did you come up with that?” The man sneers from the other side of the line, but it’s so fucking warn that Stu almost laughs.

“Oh, you know,” he responds, and he feels the other man shiver with pure, unadulterated euphoria. “Paying homage to an old friend.”

The man laughs. “Noble,” he notes, a dangerous grin in his voice. “You never were creative. Always knew you’d take something from me.”

“I took a lot more than your name,” Stu practically chides.

“You know, I think I’ve forgotten,” Stu’s fucking shaking now, he feels something wash through him. “Maybe you should show me again.”

Perhaps out of habit.

“Maybe.”

“Yes. Maybe,” the man smiles wider, of course he does. “Now, tell me…”

And here it comes. The post-credits scene. The final blow, the hook. The allusion to the sequel.

Stu straightens up.

“What’s your favorite scary movie, Mr. Afton?”

Oh look. The Trump shooter was a registered Republican (and a young white man in his 20s like pretty every other mass shooter ever).

Party that endorses political violence commits more political violence, film at 11.

bdubs is so cool hes the reason i hate describing things as content wdym this is content its so much more, it’s craftsmanship, it’s meticulous detail and love and care and deliberate thought and aaaa his videos are crafted so well, i love how he takes the time to explain his process and then uses a building montage not sped up to not only include us in the process but really emphasize that this is thoughtful art not just a build that appears out of nowhere. ugh if stop and smell the roses were a guy it would be bdubs. his videos are just so engagingggg and the humor in them also rules and i could listen to bdubs talk for hours and hours because something about his sentence structures and vocal inflections just draw attention and are so fun. what a guy. also does anyone else watch his old vlogs and experience a deep sense of yearning.

Thor is at the end of time with Loki; he asks about the mortal that changed him.

“How was it, this change of heart?”

Loki, unable to speak, smiles as he holds onto all the growing branches. A tear cascades down his cheek.

“I know you can’t tell me about him—” Thor starts. Loki hums softly.

A small mirage appears next to them. Thor watches as Loki meets Mobius for the first time.

Thor smiles at Loki, only to see the god of stories mesmerized by the TVA analyst in the mirage.

Rabbi Harold S. Kushner's When Bad Things Happen to Good People did more to make me believe in G-d again, and Them as good and loving and worthy of my worship, than the church I was raised in (and later left before finding my way to Judaism) until I was 12, that taught me that my suffering was my fault for not praying hard enough

the stupid thing about deciding that being heterosexual makes you bad or annoying, is it means if you think someone is bad or annoying you start thinking they must be heterosexual. darling i promise you those things aren't linked. sexual orientation is the most morally neutral thing in the world it just Happens to you

[eddiegettingshot]

okay Im the anon that sent you that ask about shannon and eddie + physical and romantic attraction and like the people that think hes only physically attracted to buck/not attracted to women are crazy. he very clearly finds ana attractive when he first sees her and literally the only thing he knows about marisol and their relationship is that he likes to have sex with her (or at least they have a very active sex life). not to mention eddie and shannon using sex as a distraction from talking about their feelings and place in each others life (eddie did once say sex complicates everything). like could be comphet but idk it just reads to me as clearly he experiences physical attraction to these women and has has good physical relationships with them but has a tendency to confuse that with emotional attraction, which is why "nesting" with shannon was a bad idea both times probably and why he was so confused at the end of their relationship and why "nesting" with ana and marisol isnt working out like he thinks it will. and of course adjacent to this is he might not recognize the connection he has with buck as romantic because it is fundamentally different than the connections he has had with women that he views as people he had a strong romantic connection with. like despite the buddie and eddie/shannon parallels re:what eddie is trying to replicate when it comes to his emotional relationship with shannon, buck and eddie's connection even different than eddie and shannon because when their relationship was too emotionally taxing they both ran away (multiple times) but when eddie tried to run away from the 118 because working there was too much for him buck was there the whole time until eddie let him in. and not to say hes not physically attracted to buck but like attraction to men and women are not always the same and buck literally said in the last episode he thought he was staring at guy's asses for funsies lol. anyways thanks for accidentally indulging me because I would much rather write eddie meta than read shannon spec rn lmao

no this is soooooo right. and also buck saying "i think you mean the first woman you slept with" lol (so out of pocket).

the reason i think it's probably genuine attraction is because i think you could make a pretty strong case that eddie not only confuses the two, but actively (if subconsciously) tries to replicate emotional intimacy using sexual intimacy. he has sex and it feels really good, he feels close to someone, he's enjoying himself, she's enjoying herself... that part is easier for him than talking about anything or being vulnerable, and he likes it enough that he can convince himself that sexual connection and emotional connection are interchangeable.

like, with shannon, he wanted desperately to be emotionally close to her again but things were hard as fuck, so they kept sleeping together instead. and with marisol, he was sleeping with her enthusiastically up until the point where he didn't want to be emotionally close to her anymore; he learned something about her that made him question whether he even wanted her in his life and that was when he stopped wanting to have sex with her. and he very obviously thought ana was hot lol it's kind of undeniable.

not to go against the fanon grain, but i'm pretty sure eddie's issue with "casual" isn't that he doesn't want to fuck people he has no emotional connection with, it's that he wants to fuck first and decides afterwards that that means he must also want the emotional connection (real or imagined) that, in his experience, tends to follow (.....it happened with shannon). and because he's obsessed with finding love that feels like magic, well........... like i can see how sleeping with someone he's super attracted to, combined with his intense emotional repression, has historically made the confusion easy lol

[hippolotamus]

how are y’all forming coherent thoughts today? stringing words together, making synapses fire, experiencing anything other than pure chaotic joy? i wish i could take this feeling in my chest and explain it in words. it’s just too big right now. too big and floaty and all consuming. it’s elation, grief, pride, feeling seen, and knowing some of the closest people to me will never be able to under its importance. not in the same way and maybe not at all.
